Wow, I'm really impressed with this article. Usually you don't hear people reference the original quotations of some of our founders which clearly answer the 2A questions. I agree, its so clear. I can't understand whats so hard about this right. I'd be very surprised to see the Supreme Court ring in on this issue, and settle it however.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
